Question 239232 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – ReferenceError: Discord is not defined; in discord bot coding for 2023

ReferenceError: Discord is not defined
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/runner/testing-a-bot/index.js:2:16)
at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1159:14)

I was attempting to create a discord bot, this error has popped up.
All of the code was in the below youtube video

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V7iTweKKM8)

My code for this:

const {Client, GatewayIntentBits, EmbedBuilder, PermissionsBitField, Permissions} =       require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on("ready", () => {
console.log("It's ready")
})

client.login(assume the token is here)

I ran the code, this popped up.
Just attempting to get the bot online and run basic code.

This problem isn’t a duplicate, as far as I can tell the old posts don’t work due to the age.

    You imported the Client as destructured member from discord.js, so when you want to use it, you can do it directly;

    const {Client, GatewayIntentBits, EmbedBuilder, PermissionsBitField, Permissions} = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client();

    If you want your code to work; you should import the whole discord.js library as Discord;

    const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

    Follow-up

    Discord bots need intents, you need to declare them when initializing a new client;

    const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
        // Add more intents as needed
    ],
});

    You can check this out in the official documentation.

    For the error message you are receiving

    TypeError [ClientMissingIntents]: Valid intents must be provided for the Client

    It means that you need a valid Intents to be able to Create a new client instance. For example:

    // Create a new client instance
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

    Check out these docs:
